At Maidstone we offer performance opportunities twice a year and a Performance Troupe (by invitation) plus an annual Summer School. Many of our kids have been involved in professional productions at local theatres and many have joined the Stagecoach Agency. We also have connections with Maidstone Studios.

Our teachers are all CRB checked and have a wealth of experience and expertise in teaching the performing arts to children.

Our Principal Melinda has over 17 years experience as Principal at Maidstone, during this time she has provided children with a platform to explore their creativity and build new skills that will stay with them as they mature into adulthood.

Being a trained opera singer has allowed Melinda to understand the importance of being able to sing, act and dance in performance to portray the character and tell a story through music.

Having performed in a variety of roles as an actress and singer, most recently Melinda has taken part in the London Opera Vocal classes at the National Opera Studio. Her talents extend to organising high profile charity concerts and having extensive contacts in the local theatrical world.

Fees work out at approx £9 per hour, which offers outstanding value for money for quality performing arts training, small class sizes (15 max), exams, medals, performances, magazine subscription, optional representation by The Stagecoach Agency which secures professional work for hundreds of children, and the many other extras that are offered by Stagecoach Maidstone.

Increased confidence & Self Esteem

A chance to gain new life skills
